Levofloxacin Prevention of Febrile Neutropenia after Cytarabine Consolidation in Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis study aimed to assess the efficacy of Levofloxacin in preventing febrile neutropenia (FN) after cytarabine-based consolidation therapy in newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients.
methodsA prospective study conducted between January and December 2023. Newly diagnosed AML patients received Levofloxacin 750 mg once daily for 10 days, starting five days after the last cytarabine dose. Febrile neutropenia was diagnosed based on established guidelines, and outcomes were compared with a historical control group (January 2020 to December 2022) where Levofloxacin prophylaxis was not given.
resultsA total of 43 patients were included, 55% were male with a median age of 42. Levofloxacin recipients (n=19) experienced significantly lower febrile neutropenia incidence compared to the control group (n=24) (36.8% vs. 100%, P<0.001). Levofloxacin prophylaxis also delayed the onset of febrile neutropenia (HR 0.14, 95% CI 0.06-0.36; P<0.001), reduced hospitalization rates (36.8% vs. 100%, P<0.01), and shortened hospital stays (4 vs. 7 days, P=0.002). There were no increases in antibiotic resistance or serious adverse events.
conclusionLevofloxacin effectively reduced febrile neutropenia episodes, lowered hospitalization rates, and shortened hospital stays in post-cytarabine consolidation AML patients.
